CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL CLEANING GUIDELINES
Wash surfaces gently with a soft damp cloth; use a neutral liquid soap with water for daily cleaning. Rinse completely
with water, dry any overspray. Never use an abrasive material such as a brush or scouring pad to clean surface. The
use of abrasive cleaners, cleansers or disinfectants will damage the surface finish and void the warranty.
We suggest a semi-annual wax routine using a high quality clear carnauba paste wax to extend the life of a living
finish. This will keep the finish close to its original form and minimize the appearance of use. The use of polishing
agents can damage finish and void the warranty.
Note that prolonged contact with certain items such as citrus fruit juice, salt, vinegar, mustard, pickles, mayonnaise,
anti-bacterial soap and wines on your surface for prolonged periods will also alter all surface finish.
NEVER USE:
Steel wool pads
Bleaches containing hypochlorite
Silver dip cleaners or polishes of any type.
Cleaning burnished brass surfaces
The antiquing finish of the surface (Burnished Brass) is the result of natural oxidation that has been accelerated and
it is a “living finish”. Living Finishes have NO PROTECTIVE COATING so they can be scratched or scuffed if not
cared for properly.
The unique characteristic of these finishes is that they wear and age over time. Essentially, the finish replicates what
nature would do to the surface material naturally when exposed to the environment.
These products will generally tend to darken slightly on the areas that are infrequently touched and lighten or highlight
on the areas that are contacted on a consistent basis. Soaps, acidic fluids, and astringent cleaners can damage
the finish. Avoid using abrasive pads, sponges, or cloths to clean the product. Do not allow water spots to dry on.
Cleaning chromed brass surfaces
This finish is achieved by chrome plating solid brass and it is a “living finish”.
Living Finishes have NO PROTECTIVE COATING so they can be scratched or scuffed if not cared for properly.
This durable finish will not change if the general cleaning guidelines are followed.
Please follow the general cleaning guidelines to keep this finish close to its original form and minimize the appearance
of use.
Cleaning nickeled brass surfaces
This finish is achieved by nickel plating solid brass and it is a “living finish”.
Living Finishes have NO PROTECTIVE COATING so they can be scratched or scuffed if not cared for properly.
Oxidation that may appear over time on the nickel plated brass surfaces is a normal characteristic of this living
finish. Please follow the general cleaning guidelines to keep this finish close to its original hue and minimize the
appearance of use.
